Conversation between Quintis following Pregnancy Announcement after 3.07
Toby relaxed in Cabe’s hold and stared at Happy, not quite believing what she had just said, first he found out she is married to Walter and if that secret wasn’t enough now she was dropping the bombshell she was pregnant. Toby just stood there staring at her as she looked back at him he could read nervousness, apprehension, fear in her face but also a tiny flicker of excitement.
C - Lets give these kids sometime to talk things through, if i let you go Doc are you gonna launch yourself at Walter again?
Toby just looked at Cabe and very slowly shook his head, Cabe slowly released his hold on him and nodded to the others who were all stood staring at Happy and Toby. Paige went to start to speak but no words came out and Cabe shook his head at her telling her to leave it. The team gathered their belongings and left the garage, Walter was the last to leave and turned back looking like to he was going to speak but he just stared, he did then speak
W - I’ll stay with Cabe tonight guys so take as much time as you need to talk things through here if you want
Toby suddenly snapped out of staring at Happy
T - so very kind of you Walt, give us chance to fix the mess you made. Its the lease you could do
Walter just nodded and left shutting the door behind him quietly.
Happy looked at Toby, she wasn’t sure what reaction she was expecting, she was still processing the news herself but she had expected something but Toby just stood there staring not saying anything.
H - Come on Toby say something
Toby opened his mouth and then shut it again, obviously at a loss of what to say
H - Come on Doc, lets sit on the sofa and I will fill you in and then maybe you could say some words you are usually full of them
Toby just nodded and walked over to the sofa and sat down crossing his leg over his knee and resting his one arm along the back of the sofa and then rubbed his other hand across his face. Happy came and sat on the sofa with both her legs crossed facing Toby just close enough her knees where touching his leg.
H - right, well i guess i’ll start. I’ve been feeling sick the last week or so and then the last few morning I have been sick a few times, coupled with my period being 3 weeks late i knew something was up and then I remembered that day a couple of months back you know after girl with the heart problem, when we were on the hike we went on to stay awake and well you remember what happened in that secluded beach and we thought we would be ok but i guess we weren’t
Toby looked at Happy with the small smile on his face
T - How could I forget that day sweetheart, it’s when I decided I would spend the rest of my life trying to make you feel as good as i did on that day
Happy smiled at him and continued
H - well i took a pregnancy test this morning before work and well you know the rest. I’m not going to lie and tell you it wasn’t a shock and it’s the right time or i’m ready but the more it thought about it today the more I realized that a baby would be pretty amazing and he fact that it is yours makes it so much more special.
Happy paused looking at Toby who had some colour back in his cheeks and wasn’t looking so spaced out anymore
H - I’m scared Toby I need to know we are ok and you are with me on this, I cant do this without you
Toby looked at Happy she looked so vulnerable a look he was not used to seeing on her, he was still so mad over the marriage with Walter but first of all he needed to reassure her he wasn’t going anywhere.
T - Listen Hap I love you, of course i’m with you 100%. It was such a shock especially after finding out about Walter. I just needed to few minutes to let it absorb. You will never be alone again even if we fight or i’m upset i would never leave you you don’t need to worry about that.
Happy leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on Toby’s lips
T - Look we have a lot to talk about, i need to find the best pregnancy papers and books to read though. My Gynae rotation was only short so we need to research whats happening to your body and our little bun in your oven is going to needs lots of care and extra nourishment to make sure we give him or her the best brain development possible, oh I know I read a study that playing classical music enhances their brain development let me download some on your phone so you can put it on your belly when you go to sleep
H - Doc calm down we have plenty of time to sort all this out im sure one night without listening to the works of Bach won’t do the baby any harm. Now I know we are good and you are on bored with the baby business we do need to talk about Walter
T - I suppose so, I can’t believe you married Walter and kept it from me for years, how did I not pick up on this and how did Collins know
H - look you know I love you and I will only say this once, I’m sorry I kept this from you but we couldn’t risk it getting out and Walt losing his green card
T - I understand the risk Hap but when your in a relationship one which I thought was leading to marriage you don’t keep secrets this big. It makes me worry what else your hiding or will hide especially as I couldn’t read that you were keeping a secret. Maybe I’m not the world class behaviourist I think I am
H - first you know your an amazing Doctor you weren’t looking for deception in me, my bad. Secondly I have no more big secrets and I promise you here and now there won’t be any in the future. And thirdly Walter told Collins I wasn’t aware he did until you mentioned it the other week trust me I ran him the riot act about that.
T - I need to know Happy is there any part of you that wants the marriage with Walt, I know you need a family but if you have any feelings like that towards him tell me now
H - are you freaking kidding me Doc, Walt is a mate nothing more, he’s never seen me naked, never seen me cry, never seen how I doubt myself, doesn’t know what it does to me when someone kisses me behind my ear, doesn’t know what happened to me in the care home when I was 13 or what happened with my first boyfriend…. do you know who does or shall I go on
Toby held his hands up in defence
T - ok your right I’m sorry, I know Walts just a mate and nothing more. I’m still hurt though Hap howcelild you feel if you learnt I was already married
H - I episode be gutted but I would try to understand why
T - I am trying sweetie and I’m not pissed at you but Walt he knew how much it destroyed me the night I found out he was here and yet he never said anything
H - I asked him not too,I text him and told him it needed to come from me. How are we going to move on from this
T - We look at getting you divorced and we move on,cwe have our little bambino to think of now. I’m going to let this go my love for you is far stronger then any anger I felt.
H - Walters looked into it and is looking at his options. We haven’t spent a night together all night since before you got kidnapped you always go home after we have sex, how do you feel about staying over tonight, doing some pregnancy research. I’ve missed waking up with you.
T - you are a softie really, I would love too and I’m sorry I’ve been distant lately its been a lot to process.
H - I get it but we need to move on so let’s start now
Toby smiled at Happy and nodded, he then pulled her over to him running his hand through her hair and along her leg and pulled her in for a kiss.
Happy sighed into the kiss pulling Toby closer to her by grabbing his shirt and running her fingers along his stubble. She slowly pulled away and smiled she felt closer to him then she had for weeks.
H - come on Doc let’s get out of here.
